It's okay. We don't know what the name means either.

Sports Brawl Breakdown


I don't know why, but I just love this list of some kick-ass sports brawls.
Regarding Pedro vs Zimmer, I was in a bar in New York when it happened. A nice bartender took pity on me and let me out through the kitchen. Seriously.
Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that some drunk Yankees fans would have taken it out on me.
Maybe I shouldn't have been talking so much shit, but anyone who knows me is aware that I'm hard-wired to talk smack about sports. I cannot help myself.
Maybe some day I'll learn decorum when in the public forum.
Pfft - Not fucking likely.

If I Can Make It There, I'll Make It Onto the All-Star Game Roster

As part of my ongoing effort to make this site less hockey-centric, I've decided to posit my opinion of the MLB All-Star game, for which the rosters were announced tonight.

Here it is: The All-Star Game rosters, especially the starting lineups, are a bigger joke than (Pick One (1): Mike Cooper, Carl Monday, Isaiah Thomas, this guy)

By my count, six out of the sixteen starting position players (that's 37.5% for you statheads) play for a team in New York (that's 6.67% of the league's teams for you statheads). Add to that the fact that there are three more from Boston and more than half of the starting rosters come from three teams. I know I'm not the only one bothered by this, and there are a myriad of other reasons to bitch about the Midsummer Classic, but I'm too lazy to do so. I just wanted an excuse to use my snappy headline and include a silly picture.
